Welcome to the enchanting world of Hermès Un Jardin sur la Lagune, a captivating eau de toilette created by renowned perfumer Christine NaGel in 2019. This exquisite fragrance invites you to explore a secret garden, where nature thrives amidst the stunning backdrop of Venice, a city celebrated for its contrasts.
The olfactory journey begins with the alluring notes of luminous magnolia, which gracefully intertwine with the soft embrace of enveloping pittosporum and the rich, carnal essence of Madonna lily. Together, these elements create a harmonious blend that captures the essence of a hidden paradise.
Designed by the talented Fred Rawyler, the iconic “lantern bottle” is an artistic representation inspired by the lanterns of horse-drawn carriages. The glass features a beautiful mix of bright ochre and Venetian tones, reminiscent of the walls that encircle this imaginary garden. This luxurious packaging is further enhanced by a delicate illustration painted by artist Safet Zec, showcasing nature’s abundance and ephemeral beauty as viewed from the tranquil waters of the lagoon.
Un Jardin sur la Lagune is part of the prestigious Parfums-Jardins collection, where Hermès continues to express its creativity year after year. Each fragrance in this collection embodies the soul and emotions of a unique location, inspired by the perfumer’s vision and the theme chosen for that year. These olfactory strolls are designed for sharing, fulfilling desires for freshness, reverie, or escape.
“I dreamed of this garden; I created a perfume woven from its memories, the cycle of trees and flowers, nature still enduring within it,” reflects Christine NaGel, Hermès perfumer. This statement beautifully encapsulates the essence of the fragrance.
As you spritz Un Jardin sur la Lagune, imagine a half-open door through which a dream escapes. This fragrance allows you to experience a secret garden, where the beauty of nature is revived. The woody scents blend seamlessly with the floral notes, while the gentle breeze carries hints of salty sea air, enhancing the overall sensory experience.
